Movie and TV Reviews - May 2024

Movies and TV shows that Nancy and I watched in May. I do these posts mainly so I can keep track of what we've been watching, so the reviews are cursory. 

Movies

  • Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. This extends the hidden world concept shown in the Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Apple TV+ series that we watched a few months ago. It wasn't a total waste of time but I won't watch it again. 
  • Godzilla Minus One: We watched this on a dodgy streaming site and gave up after half an hour due to subtitle issues. I want to see the rest but I guess we'll have to wait for an official release. 
  • The Fall Guy: An entertaining if somewhat over the top blockbuster. Glad we saw it at a cinema. 
  • Die Hart: A light action flick feating Kevin Hart as an action star. Kind of fun and we will probably watch the sequel. (Prime)

TV Shows

  • McDonald and Dodds (seasons 1-3): A cozy police procedural set in Bath. Nothing especially memorable here other than the location. (BritBox)
  • Blindspot: This one is fairly intense but a little too improbable for my taste. (BritBox)
  • Antiques Road Trip (seasons 1 and 2): Having worked our way forward from season 16, we're now going back to the beginning of the show. I like the longer format of the later episodes better. (PBS)
  • Midsomer Murders (season 24): Back to Acorn TV for a while and of course this had to be the first show to watch there. (Acorn TV)
  • Brokenwood Mysteries (seaons 9 and 10): Back to New Zealand (though actually filmed in Australia) for more cozy mysteries. (Acorn TV)
